From PR to Eternity » Advertising and Marketing http://www.fpte.co.uk Just another WordPress site Sun, 17 Apr 2011 22:29:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 Top 100 PR Blogs: January 2010 http://www.fpte.co.uk/2010/01/12/worlds-top-100-pr-blogs-january-2010/ http://www.fpte.co.uk/2010/01/12/worlds-top-100-pr-blogs-january-2010/#comments Tue, 12 Jan 2010 22:51:49 +0000 Matthew Watson http://www.fpte.co.uk/?p=514 It’s been quite a while since I last compiled my list of the top PR blogs listed on the AdAge Power 150, yet it is still one of the most popular pages on my site. So I have decided to bring this list back as a quarterly feature. Producing this list every month proved to be too much of a chore and often the results changed very little from one month to the next.

The list is by no means perfect since it only features blogs on the AdAge Power 150 with PR, Public Relations, Publicity or Flack in the title, and a few others that have been suggested to me by commenter’s. Although it’s just a bit of fun I think it’s still a fairly decent indicator of the world’s top PR blogs.

It’s by no means perfect since it only features blogs on AdAge with PR, Public Relations or Publicity in the title, and a few that were suggested to me last month. It’s just a bit of fun but I think it’s a decent indicator of the top PR blogs nonetheless.

If your PR blog is missing please comment and let me know. If you haven’t added your blog to the AdAge Power 150 yet you can do so by clicking here.

Done.

Thank you to everyone who helped me with interviews:
(Alphabetical as always)

Heather Constantine, the parliamentary researcher for Ann Widdecombe

Iain Dale is a political commentator who blogs at www.iaindale.com

Sarah Halton of Tangerine PR

Roger Haywood the former CIPR and CIM president.

Ian Green the director of media at Green Communications

Johannes Kokert and engineer at Leica Microsystems in Germany

Simon Law, a junior product manager at Amadeus in France

Thibault Masson, the founder of international online marketing consultancy Fashion Fox

Katie McLoughlin of Trinity Mirror North West

Alexander Petricca, a professional photographer and blogger in Liverpool.

Douglas Smith the former CIPR president and MD of Parliamentary Perceptions

Margaret Tarpey the MD of Concept Communications

Nina Watson, the senior account manager at Concept Communications

Paul Watson the Global IT manager of Rolls-Royce Energy

Philip Young, a senior lecturer at the University of Sunderland and prominant PR blogger

Special thanks also go out to:

Maxine Barnett who organised the ‘Two PR Greats’ lecture and introduced me to Douglas Smith and Roger Haywood.

Anne Gregory whose lecture on ‘Public Relations and its Struggle for Respectability’ at the Bradford University School of Management helped me enormously.

]]> http://www.fpte.co.uk/2008/03/13/a-big-thank-you/feed/ 0 Interview with Ian Green http://www.fpte.co.uk/2008/03/10/from-pr-to-eternity/ http://www.fpte.co.uk/2008/03/10/from-pr-to-eternity/#comments Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:14:00 +0000 Matthew Watson http://www.fpte.co.uk/?p=34 I had a great phone interview with Ian Green of Green Communications today. Ian is the director for media at Green and works with Andy Green, the author of Creativity in Public Relations.

He gave this advice: “All students and PR practitioners should start blogging. I think it is a good way to show off your writing skills and show that you can think. I’d recommend people pick a subject they have knowledge of and stick to it.”

So hopefully this blog should stand me in good stead.

If you’re wondering why Patsy and Edina are brightening up this post it’s because I started up a facebook group today. ‘The PR People’ should help people on my course stay in touch after uni and keep each other up-to-date with any announcements. At least until the next big internet craze comes along and replaces facebook.

The event was well turned out with Anne Gregory, another former CIPR president, in attendance.

Andy Green of Green Communications, who is the honorary research fellow at the University was also there offering an insight into the public relations world.

Roger Haywood left me very impressed with his tales of public relations past and his hopes for the future of the profession. He offered us advice for when we apply for jobs, saying that we should includea photograph of ourselves with out CV. To make it truly standout from the hundreds of other applicants who might be applying for the same position. A great little piece of advice I think.

Douglas Smith invited us into his world of political public relations and lobbying. He presented us with a three-page handout containing plenty of information on how to succeed in the political arena of public relations. Although this is not an area that is of particular interest to me, I found it incredibly useful with regards to my dissertation and my plans to discuss political blogging.

Best of all – the event was free!
